I came of age in the LGTB community of a redneck city during the late 80s and early 90s and I thought Leto's performance was absolutely convincing. He was messy and campy and superficial and damaged in all of the ways that many trans women are —and were—in the the real world outside of the vain wishes of identity…

Bodily autonomy is a human right. Try again. Or better yet, don't.

It gets even better. That court case involved Shimp doing the tests necessary to find out if he was a donor match. I got the feeling he'd kinda been talked into doing that in a family solidarity thing, and was surprised he'd turned out to be a match. Either way, he backed out and refused to give the tissue. McFall…

Well, let's just starting calling Senator Martin a kidney host.

This comment just made me like Beyonce after all these years. Still not a huge fan of the music, but the nuance in her videos you mentioned gave me a whole new respect for the woman. Thank you!

Uh, no, not really. I think it actually illustrates a big part of WHY I don't like porn — think through the implications of this statement in terms of the intersectionality of gender, class, and power here.

Disneymakes too much from right-wingers. Also why they won't do homosexual characters. (I need to find the false feminism in frozen article for y'all. So good!)

Ok, I am against fat shaming. I am equally against thin/fit shaming. Has anyone ever thought that the problem is not Disney or Barbie? Maybe the problem is us and the way we teach our children. Shows that target more boys don't have plus sized characters either. Yet no one worries about the image that gives little…

Here's the thing that really bums my party out about this case: Rudy Guede will be free to kill again in 10 years. Does nobody else see how this dude totally got away with a murder? I mean, because the prosecution couldn't let the ridiculous satanist sex game theory drop, they effectively made it so Meredith's killer…

This will never get out of gray but whatever:

Sarag Marshall wrote a fascinating piece about the Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan incident that illuminates how there is definitely a right "look" that skaters (especially females skaters) are supposed to have.

How in the world is Matthew McConnoghy's subtle not subtle racism in his acceptance speech being continually ignored? I though for sure that Jezebel would be reporting on it! Mr. Redford, Mr. Hanks...beat...*rapid dismissive mumble* Chiwetel, Idris *moving on dismissiveness* - that was so disrespectful. So fucking…

This is true. Back in the day women used to go to NYC for safe, legal abortions. Before it was legal in NYC there were some places out of the country that people could go. I'm guessing it will be the same. Well off women and teens will not have to worry about this. Everyone else will be up a creek.

I really like Jessica Simpson but why did the stylists for this weight loss commercial put her in an outfit that looks like she was squeezed into it and is actually uncomfortable. The belt looks like its too tight, the shirt looks like it is about to burst at any moment and the boots uggh. Love her shape and size but…

As a medical student, I have done a rotation in my school's/medical center's Sexual Assault and Abuse Cinic (it's run by a BALLER pediatric and adolescent/forensic gynecologist, working together with an amazing set of social workers, criminal investigators, and psychologists), and I can tell you that even with lab…

The other thing is that a kit like this is not super useful in 65% of cases (really rough guess). If the victim knows the perpetrator (i.e. not a stranger), why would you need to test the DNA evidence? The only time that would even be useful in a case of acquaintance rape is if the perp claimed they didn't have sex.…

What I cannot deal with is the fact that Beyonce has a song/video in this album with a quote from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie about feminism:

Thank you. The reasons why women think men have it easier are so much more nuanced than men earning more.

Absolutely. And quite the leap to say "millenial women are wrong, though, because the pay gap isn't so big now".

Yup. When I read this, I thought about how everyone in my entry-level program came in at the same salary, but it is much easier for the men to get mentors and promotions.
